The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the Roman chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, including basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to a torrent in publications on food, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were highly popular as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. |
